Cloud Vs Sephiroth Final Boss Fight Scene PS5 (4K 60FPS) Final Fantasy VII Remake

[@FinalFanatic92]

Cloud: “He’s tough.” Aerith: “Yeah, so what? Screw him.” Hearing this for the first time just really made it sink in for me how Aerith’s character really shined in this remake.

How does he know? in the real story he can't even remember fighting Sephiroth and has no idea about the one winged angel. Come to think of it in the original story Barret had a brain and was more interested in fighting Shinra than Sephiroth or walking in some random portal. The new game is very dumb. Very very dumb.

[@Robert99909]

​@Musician7831 in the real story he absolutely remembers killing sephiroth. Who the hell said he didn't? Because by both Zack, and clouds point of view, they both defeated sephiroth to the best of their knowledge. Also, the extended story very clearly shows every original 1st class SOLDIERS had wings. His was the black one. This game includes all side content over the years.

[@HeyItsNate]

What I love is that Remake is basically Sephiroth being so strong he is brute forcing on rewriting continuity because in their universe there are two constants, 1. If Sephiroth is to live Cloud must die 2. If Cloud is to live Sephiroth must die and he managed to actually make it so they both can exist in the Unknown Journey.

[@StunningSilken]

Right.

[@SAUNITRIES]

Well said.

[@celestialdragonlord5004]

Wait, so basically the Harry Potter treatment?? Neither can live while the other survives??

[@CrashSable]

That's not true, though. The opposite is true, in fact. Sephiroth tied his existence to Cloud's during the events of Lifestream: Black. That's what his "nor will I have you end" statement means - as long as Cloud lives, Sephiroth has a way to come back. It's not that one or the other must die, Sephiroth has locked himself into the stalemate that _he can never kill Cloud_ but also that Cloud CAN kill him, just not permanently.

[@killerkdawg88]

Scary part is that Cloud was giving his absolute all, and Sephiroth probably wasn't even using HALF his strength.

[@ThoraxetheImpaile100]

I think that has less to do with Sephiroth being so strong and more to do with the fact that he knows what Cloud can do at this point. We're not just dealing with the OG Sephiroth. We're dealing with one that has lived through all of this already. He knows Cloud inside and out, his strengths and weaknesses, which buttons to push. When you consider that, its little wonder why Sephiroth was able to fend off Cloud so easily.

[@kmikel3669]

HALF??? Try he wasn't even using 10%

[@Gabrielleyale]

The most important thing to remember is that sephiroth is a superhuman and nobody can beat him single-handedly. No amount of trying can beat supreme natural talent, and that, is the gospel truth. The fact that he was beaten in the original game is due to: 1 he is the final boss so you HAVE to beat him otherwise GAME OVER; 2 that was a group effort with all the most powerful characters in the game. Every time sephiroth fights, be it genesis + Angeal, Zack or cloud, he chills and his opponent huffs and puffs.

[@Sicariav]

He was using exactly .05 percent.

[@cptdumplin]

This version of One Winged Angel being so uncomfortably fast and almost stressful really drives home the feeling it inflicts upon anyone who remembers the original FF7: This is wrong. This is too soon. Too much. We're not supposed to be here, and neither is he.

Killing Shinra and Aerith was not even him but Jenova. Compare that to Kefka from FF6 who killed many via watwr poisoning. Killed minions, killee his own emperor.

[@Maggot39967]

@breadandcircuses8127 It allows for both action gamers and old school turn based gamers to play in completely different ways allowing for both types of players, who are extremely opposite of each other can enjoy the game the same amount. It's fucking astounding. They actually worked the formula out after like 20 years of trying. An example would be an action player using the built in shortcuts they have and also learning the menu and scrolling through it at lightning speed and confirming their abilities at just the right time. The old school turn based guys are taking their time with each and every attack and command and using the built in slow motion to their advantage to think things through in a quick moving situation and build their strategies. The combat is also deep and has a lot of combos that are freaking crazy. Aerith is the best in the game hands down which I personally think is cool.

It's an interesting take but I would say it's not better than hack n slash games, somehow it still feels like the original but it's different at the same time, I can't explain that feeling.

Sephiroth and Kefka may be some of the greatest villains I've ever seen in all of my gaming days. I find a good villain to be as important as the main character. When we watch movies or shows it feels like the hero is ALWAYS the one who gets more attention, gets fanboyed over, or is the most popular and famous. If we don't have a villain that can genuinely make me dislike him/her, that can make me angry at them or hate them, the entire story falls apart for me ya know?

Whatever changes they have in stored are clearly going to be lore breaking: At any point it was clear Sephiroth was 100% playing with cloud and cloud really had zero chance here even with a full team. I have a strong feeling that this Sephiroth is from another time line: After Advent children perhaps? He clearly seems to know more things then he should (He clearly was able to predict and block the Omislash at the end) and I also believe "7 seconds* as others have said I am sure is the time it takes from him to drop from the ceiling, plunge down and Kill Aerith (watch the orginal FMV: its 7 seconds): Can cloud stop that? If cloud stops that and saves Aerith and she does not become part of the life stream uhh...thats very bad for the world: because then Holy will not work and nothing can stop Sephiroth's original main goal/plan.

I dont think Holy worked because she died, I think it worked in spite of her death.

But he was too late, her prayer was already heard and granted.

One complaint about this fight. Sephiroth for the most part doesn't even bother to parry or block. Why is this? Could it be because he's so far beyond his original birth form that physical attacks mean very little to him?

Amazing. The experience in 60 fps is in another level.

[@dodobrain2620]

I hope Sephiroth can be a playable character and have his own story like cloud

[@jacobcoleman8250]

He will be in the opening sequence of Rebirth.

[@matthewmorrison3745]

I would love to see this game done in a Sekiro gameplay style. Kinda weird seeing Sephiroth stand there while getting smacked feels like your attacks are doing nothing but that's just how they do things.

[@fenrisbutcher7343]

this game sells in milions of copies and is mainly story driven, so they had to make it casual friendly so every kid and girl can stream it on twitch. u saw how ppl raged on sekiro while streaming? if they done this kind of game, they would sell maybe 50k copies

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

@@fenrisbutcher7343sekiro only had one difficulty setting tho (technically could increase difficulty with debuffs). Next FF should have sekiro-style difficulty/combat as an option and then a games journalist difficulty level for everyone else.

[@fenrisbutcher7343]

@@StevenMcPeterbilt i mean, thats basicly why ppl played all kinds of challanges (no materia, no itemes, no limits etc) over the years with every other FF - creativity was ur only limitation for setting ur own difficulty. yes its technicly doable for devs to make couple difficulty modes, but it would probably cause even longer devolopment/testing time , which already is massive.

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

@@fenrisbutcher7343 we’re mostly talking about sekiro style combat, not difficulty, sorry for the confusion. Tactical mode disabled and precision-parries wouldn’t be impossible to implement alongside the standard gameplay

[@casonhi6774]

seven seconds till the end is reference to aeriths death. it takes him 7 seven seconds to kill her the original

[@josecuestas7246]

Yeah, i read that this is one of the theories about the cryptic commentary of Sephiroth. Even, this could speculates that the reason to that Sephiroth said it to Cloud, was to sabotage his own murder attempt of Aerith, to prevent that she can return to the Planet and become a greater threat in the Lifestream.

[@Allyourheroswenttohell]

It's a refrence to the seven chakras that align the spine. The seventh represents the all seeing eye. God. It's literally from mythology that was rewritten into the biblical stories. The two are actually one. He basically came through a purple vag clothed in the sun. This represents the darkness before the light, greeks called it chaos. That's why they fought at the beginning of creation and why he basically said they were always there. The divine feminine had a virgin birth of the divine masculine. The ancient mystery schools compared this all to the darkness within before the light. Natural man into spiritual. This has been butchered by the Vatican and the creation of the big bang. This is the story that made them all. It's present in our tv shows, games, and movies. It doesn't matter what country rewrites this story, underneath they hid this code for their initates. It's the world's greatest secret gaurded by royals passed down through freemasonry. The truth is the world is run by a global cult. There's a religion behind them all... and we've all been misled by it. They lied to us all. These two are God and Satan. The light and darkness that resides within us all. That's the tree of life at 10:44. Fyi.

[@Allyourheroswenttohell]

​​​​@@josecuestas7246all the characters are one. It's sexual alchemy. Seven chakras align the spine. 5 number of man. 6 is like the sixth sense. The seven can only remain a short time before the eighth, in this case seph returns. The woman, ishtar, sits on seven hills. The seven deadly sins clog the seven hills. Opening causes the biblical flood, becoming one with the universe. Merging with it completely. You can thank the people with aprons over their crotches for all the confusion.

[@Omega_1998_]

This sure was one epic boss fight to end off a remake,and to continue in Rebirth. I admit,that was one good ending. Well done developers. 😎

[@amirrahblow9894]

I love it when Cloud has the chance to fight Sephiroth

[@itwarren2012]

One thing I wish was different about this fight is I really wanted his theme to stand out a bit more and really punch you in the face. I feel like the background music should have been a lot louder than it was.

[@bmabs35]

Finished the remake a few minutes ago. I....I don't know how to describe it. Don't even know if epic would be enough. A bit sad I'll never experience this for the first time again

Zack is a great character! I would like to play with him again in next chapter.

[@BlokHeadAnim]

Okay, so, if Sephy traveled back to change history so he would win, I am curious if it's Days of Future Past rules or Endgame rules. Basically, does he possess his past self or enter into the Jenova hivemind along with his past self? Or does the "past" Sephiroth in this timeline continue to exist independantly of "future" Sephiroth? Either way, I feel like any eventual interactions will be quite interesting.

[@garry6047]

At around 10:30, that is the part of the story that I still kind of don't understand. This story is so deep. Back in the day, I actually ran through the entire original FF7 game 3 times in a row, just to rewatch the story. And to this day there are still parts that elude me.

[@DreamerTrain]

am I the only one who wishes they hadn't showed us Sephiroth? I remember in the original you only get to see his feats indirectly, you see the mess at Shinra that he caused, you see the serpent you're underleveled to fight just brutalized and impaled on a stake, it gives you an amazing sense of wonder and the unknown, of what this man, this "hero" is capable of, just how strong are these SOLDIER? I wanted to go over that all over, like picking a book you've read countless times and still feeling the same feelings all over, but instead they showed their full hands, left nothing to mystery, just... fan service

[@dinorex3464]

This is one of the few cases where I believe fan service is justified. The original game was released in 1997 and Sephiroth is one of the most iconic characters not just of the Final Fantasy universe, but in gaming history. And here they had the opportunity to showcase him in 4K for the first time ever. If he had not been showed, people surely would've complained that he was not present, so even if I understand what you mean I believe it's better like this.

[@kg888]

Yeah but this is more of a sequel here he pop up more often

[@Sludgedump]

Fan service is all they have left my friend. I remember one of the big wigs of square like 15 years ago saying something along the lines of "if we remake final fantasy 7, that means we are out of ideas"

[@decayedphoenix8865]

@@dinorex3464 you're wrong. It's supposed to be a remake of the original 1997 game, but in it's core it is not. It's a rewrite. Or at least it Acts like one. His place in the story is now completely ruined, as instead of primarily seeing his feats and not seeing the guy himself, we pretty much exclusively see him and not anything he does, essentially ruining his place from the OG game. If people really were to complain of his lack of presence, it's on them for not understanding the storytelling

I think it's kinda like how Sephiroth shows the Reunion of all different worlds in Rebirth, he was never meant to be there and Sephiroth pretty much dragged him to show him. So once he finished showing off, he essentially "throws him back".
